Kelsey’s Bio

My husand and I just moved back to the Iowa City area from Des Moines where I was student teaching. I recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in elementary education.
While in college I worked for a family of four children. I also did occasional babysitting for friends of their family. I have worked with children ranging in age from infant to late elementary school and feel very comfortable with children of all ages. Growing up in Pella I worked with many children as well and have three young siblings.
I love children and enjoy caring for them. I learn so much from them and feel very blessed to have the opportunity to work with them. Playing games, puzzles, reading, and swinging on the playground are some of my favorite activities to do with young children. Also being a teacher I love to encourage childrens' learning and help with their homework.
